Podcasts about personal responsibility

Send us a textWhat version of yourself do you bring to work? To family gatherings? To your closest relationships? For many of us, these questions reveal uncomfortable truths about the different masks we wear throughout our lives.We don't put on these masks with malicious intent. They emerge from our deepest fears—fear of rejection, fear of inadequacy, fear that our authentic selves simply won't be enough. But what begins as self-protection gradually transforms into self-imprisonment. The exhaustion of juggling different personas, remembering which version of yourself you've shown to whom, and constantly monitoring your own behavior creates a crushing weight that few can sustain.The most revealing insight comes when we examine what bothers us in others. That colleague whose arrogance drives you crazy? That friend whose neediness feels suffocating? These triggers often reflect disowned aspects of ourselves—mirrors we'd rather not look into. Taking personal responsibility means asking the harder question: "What's my part in this dynamic?" The reflection may be uncomfortable, but it's where true growth begins.Freedom arrives when we commit to authenticity. One face. One truth. Just you. People intuitively sense incongruence between what you say and who you truly are, even if they can't articulate exactly what feels "off." Consistency builds trust far more effectively than perfection ever could. This week, try having just one honest conversation—with your spouse, your boss, or perhaps most importantly, with yourself. Take off just one mask and notice how much easier it becomes to breathe.

I found a great reminder from Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) where he reminds us that “Commitment is staying true to what you said you would do long after the mood that you said it in has left.”  This is one of the many stories of my life that I must always try and work on.  Keeping promises to myself so that I can try and be my best -it's a tough job, but worth it for me (and all of us) to keep trying.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

My friend John O'Leary (John O'Leary Live Inspired and @soulonfiremovie) came through with another powerful lesson for me (and you too).   He is always able to share things that help others in many amazing ways. With time flying by for him and all of us, John shared a powerful way of looking at the changes and pivots we all face in life. For him he thought back to a friend's passing, his dad losing his battle and his kids growing up. It's a profound and emotional podcast he shared and you can find it HERE. John got me thinking about the pivots in my life and the reframing of my feelings and thoughts about these changes. He really did help me to connect with some amazing reflections that helped me a ton. Good stuff for all of us, all throughout life!

Saw this post that helped me to wake up - along with my coffee - to remind me that I need to focus in on how I want my day to go!!  It's from Kevin DeShazo (@KevinDeShazo) shares this gem:  “Your future self will either bear the burden of your inconsistency today, or reap the rewards of your commitment today. You get to choose. Show up on purpose.”  This hit me this morning (morning of this recording) and it really changed my perspective of the day for me. I was also listening to “The Daily Coach” podcast - latest episode HERE, where it was shared about the “rule of thirds” which is coming from an Olympic coach and it basically says that during your days of working towards something, you will have a roughly each a third of good days, average days and crappy days. All three of them are to remind you that you are going for something great and to not let whatever day you are having get in the way of success.  Especially the crappy days - they are telling you the great thing you are going for, is not supposed to be easy - but it's worth it! I needed that reminder as well this morning. It's my choice as to how I will show up! (and I will show up!!)   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

In this podcast episode, Christina discusses the importance of raising prices in business and the mindset shifts required to do so. She emphasizes that many entrepreneurs struggle with self-worth and fear of judgment when it comes to pricing their services. Christina shares personal experiences and insights from her clients, illustrating how raising prices can lead to attracting the right clients and creating a premium experience. The episode encourages listeners to embrace their value, overcome fears, and understand that they are allowed to work less while earning more. 

Found a very true statement from one of the best at putting out difference-making posts. Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) shared this one that I found plenty of examples of the second part of the quote (sorry to say): “You'll never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You'll always be criticized by someone doing less. Remember that.” ~ Denzel Washington.  Those that know how things are done correctly - with class, character, hard work, etc., will usually always encourage rather than criticize. Those that have no character and have a title, have a lot of money, have status, and all that, and they maybe gained it by lying, cheating, stealing, etc., they usually are the ones that criticize (and even make fun of, put others down, etc. I think all of us need to go back to looking to do things in our lives to tilt the playing field back to kindness, encouragement, compassion, etc.  Go back to podcast episode #1648 - the Ripple Effect!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I saw this post and of course I've seen it before, but this time it's voice was a little louder when I came across it. This came from Gratitude HQ (@gratefuledu64) -  “The ‘ripple effect' means that #KindnessMatters ! A single act of kindness, like offering help to someone, can inspire that person to be kind to others, creating a chain of positive interactions. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!”  This thought that all of us can tap into goes along with this post - “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” ~ Mother Teresa.  In a world where action is needed to help others and make a difference with all of the injustices going on around us, we all can “cast a stone” of kindness, empathy, love, speaking up, reaching out to others to share thoughts and ideas, along with making sure we keep investing in ourselves to be our best selves. Just like the previous podcast - if we keep “our lamps lit”, it helps our journey and also the journeys of those around us. Making a difference for ourselves and others, should be something we all strive for.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Well, I found one that really hit me hard as there is a lot of connection to this one for me.  It comes from another one from my “All Star” lineup starters, Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) reminds us of this important life point: “Your laziness is disrespectful for the people who believe in you.” Looking back throughout my life, dang, I've been so guilty of this so often. This goes deeper as I'll share some of those thoughts here in this episode.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Are children guilty for the sins of their parents? This age-old question has challenged believers for centuries, and Ezekiel 18 provides a fascinating window into God's perspective on personal responsibility, generational consequences, and divine justice.The exiled Israelites had adopted a fatalistic proverb: "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge." They were essentially claiming their suffering in Babylon resulted from their ancestors' sins rather than their own disobedience. God directly confronts this excuse, systematically dismantling it through a series of powerful examples involving three generations.What makes this passage particularly intriguing is how it seems to contradict other biblical teachings about generational consequences and original sin. However, when we understand the proper context—that Ezekiel is specifically addressing Israel's physical presence in the Promised Land rather than eternal salvation—the apparent contradiction dissolves. The life and death mentioned throughout the chapter refer to prosperity in the land, not spiritual salvation.God's message through Ezekiel reveals His consistent character—He judges each person according to their own actions while maintaining His covenant promises. The chapter builds to a beautiful crescendo with God's heartfelt appeal: "I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies...therefore, repent and live." This invitation culminates in the promise of "a new heart and a new spirit," foreshadowing the new covenant that would later be fulfilled through Christ.Through our verse-by-verse analysis, we explore how this theological question impacts our understanding of divine justice, personal accountability, and God's redemptive plan. Whether you're wrestling with questions about generational patterns, divine fairness, or the path to restoration, this episode offers biblical clarity on one of scripture's most profound teachings about God's character and our relationship with Him.Support the showThank you for listening!!

Well, I got the emotions going with this one and it wasn't even something I saw coming, until I started sharing things from my heart.  This one came from Wisdom Stoics (@WisdomStoics) where this gem was shared: “I will never forget those who came with a lamp when I was in the dark.” It hit me again as to how many people I need to thank for lighting up my pathway through my life.  Being in education and coaching, there are countless people out there that had very bright lamps to help me and I hope my lamp helped them. Former students & players along with coworkers too. It also hit me that there are plenty that I didn't even know. Those that came before me and their lamp helped someone that directly helped me. We need to remember that our “lamps” have many different things that go into them. Kindness, encouragement, love, hard work, attitude, effort, etc., all are part of what light up our paths. Keep your lamp lit my friends!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Here's the truth: “Getting paid to be you” has been sold to us like it's the holy grail of freedom. But here's the part no one tells you—it can just as easily become another performance trap. Another hustle. Another way of proving instead of actually living.In this episode, I'm walking you through the alchemy of dethroning this shiny mantra and what it really takes to feel free in your work and your life. Spoiler: it's not more courses, more clients, more followers, or another spiritual playbook for success.We're getting into:Why chasing more never gets you where you think it will.How my business went from defining me… to simply being what I do.The subtle but powerful difference between branding yourself and becoming yourself.The dance between survival mode, choice points, and actual maturity.And yes—a story about Benji, pasta, parmesan, and salt (because you know I can't leave out the messy, human parts).If you've been trying to “make it work” by being more visible, more polished, more everything… this one's for you. Because the alchemical approach to getting paid to be you isn't about performing harder. It's about slowing down, purifying what's in the way, and finally becoming the version of you who can walk through the right doors.Listen with your body, not just your mind. Something new wants to move through you.Send us a message and let us know what you love about this episodeImportant Links: www.Megthompson.com Attuned - CLICK HERE Let's Connect on Instagram - CLICK HERE

This Day in Legal History: Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation ActOn August 22, 1996, President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act into law, reshaping the American welfare system in ways that continue to spark debate. Billed as a way to "end welfare as we know it," the law imposed strict work requirements on recipients and introduced a five-year lifetime limit on federal benefits, regardless of economic conditions. The legislation replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) with Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), transforming a federal entitlement into a state-administered block grant system.Supporters of the reform hailed it as a bipartisan success, encouraging employment and reducing long-term dependency. But critics argue that the law eroded the social safety net and punished the poor, particularly single mothers and children, by prioritizing ideological goals over economic realities. States were given broad discretion in how to allocate funds, leading to uneven access and accountability. Many used their new flexibility not to expand support systems but to restrict eligibility and reduce caseloads, often with little evidence of improved outcomes.The law also failed to account for structural barriers to employment—such as childcare shortages, low wages, and racial discrimination—leaving many without support when they failed to meet work requirements. Moreover, the block grant's fixed funding has not kept pace with inflation or need, effectively shrinking welfare over time. While welfare rolls dropped sharply in the years following the reform, poverty did not—suggesting that many were simply pushed out of the system rather than lifted out of hardship. The 1996 law codified a narrative of moral failing over structural inequality, framing poverty as a matter of personal irresponsibility rather than systemic dysfunction.A federal judge ordered an immediate halt to new construction at the controversial "Alligator Alcatraz" migrant detention center in Florida's Everglades. The facility, championed by Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, was barred from accepting new detainees and required to dismantle supporting infrastructure—including generators, waste systems, fencing, and lighting—within 60 days. The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams, sided with environmental groups who argued the project violated federal, state, and local environmental laws.The detention center, estimated to cost $450 million annually and house up to 5,000 detainees, had drawn backlash for its location in a fragile wetland ecosystem populated by endangered species. Environmental advocates and some local leaders had long criticized the plan, noting it conflicted with decades of political pledges to protect and restore the Everglades. The Department of Homeland Security had tapped FEMA funds to support the project, raising additional controversy over funding priorities.In her ruling, Judge Williams emphasized that the project ran counter to longstanding legislative commitments to environmental protection. Florida has already filed an appeal, but environmental groups hailed the decision as a critical victory. Despite mounting opposition, Trump dismissed ecological concerns and reaffirmed his intent to replicate the model nationally as part of his broader immigration crackdown.Judge orders halt to new construction at 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention center | ReutersAlligator Alcatraz Expansion Blocked for Harm to Environment (1)California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a pair of redistricting bills designed to redraw congressional districts in favor of Democrats—part of an aggressive political response to a newly passed gerrymandered map in Texas. Both states are now embroiled in legal and constitutional battles, as Republicans and Democrats seek to lock in partisan advantages ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Newsom also set a special statewide election for November 4, asking voters to approve the new map. If passed, it could flip up to five Republican-held House seats and secure four Democratic-leaning swing districts.California's strategy sidesteps its voter-created independent redistricting commission, which has been enshrined in the state constitution since 2010 to prevent political interference. Because of that, lawmakers are now required to get voter approval to implement their plan—creating a high-stakes ballot measure, Proposition 50. Republicans and good-government advocates, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charles Munger Jr., have vowed to fight the plan in court and on the ballot. A pending GOP lawsuit argues the legislature violated the state's 30-day waiting period for new bills, pushing through the redistricting effort without proper transparency.In Texas, the Republican-controlled legislature approved a new congressional map at the urging of President Trump, hoping to maintain a narrow House majority. Voting rights groups immediately challenged the plan, claiming it violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by racially diluting Black and Latino voting power. The case will be heard by a federal three-judge panel in El Paso, with a likely fast track to the U.S. Supreme Court. Texas Republicans, including Governor Greg Abbott, deny any racial bias and argue the map reflects demographic shifts and Republican gains among minority voters.This escalating redistricting clash highlights the legal vulnerability of U.S. voting systems when partisan manipulation goes unchecked. Though the Supreme Court ruled in 2019 that federal courts cannot weigh in on partisan gerrymandering, racial gerrymandering remains justiciable under the Voting Rights Act. Meanwhile, California Democrats are relying on voter sentiment—and Trump's unpopularity in the state—to justify a temporary abandonment of anti-gerrymandering principles.Explainer: The legal battles over redistricting in Texas and California | ReutersNewsom Signs California Redistricting Plan to Counter Texas Republicans - The New York TimesA federal judge ruled that Alina Habba, President Trump's controversial appointee as interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, had no legal authority to hold the office after her temporary term expired. U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann found that the Trump administration violated federal law by firing Habba's court-selected successor, Desiree Grace, and then using a series of procedural maneuvers to reinstall Habba. These included appointing her as “special attorney,” then naming her first assistant U.S. attorney to invoke the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.Brann concluded that Habba was unlawfully performing the duties of U.S. Attorney as of July 1 and that her actions from that point forward “may be declared void.” The ruling blocks her from overseeing or participating in criminal cases, and it extends to prosecutors operating under her supervision. The judge criticized the administration's strategy as an attempt to bypass Senate confirmation entirely by exploiting loopholes in temporary appointment rules, warning that this interpretation could let the executive branch install preferred prosecutors indefinitely.The Trump-appointed Attorney General, Pam Bondi, vowed to appeal, and Brann stayed his ruling pending the outcome. Still, the decision casts a shadow over prosecutions under Habba's leadership, and some courts in New Jersey have already paused proceedings. Brann also rejected the idea that firing interim appointees before their terms expire could justify continual reappointments without oversight.Defense attorneys in the case that triggered the ruling argued that the executive branch cannot sidestep a process designed to check prosecutorial power through judicial or Senate involvement. Though the judge refused to throw out defendant Cesar Pina's indictment—since the investigation began before Habba's unlawful tenure—the ruling reinforces that prosecutorial authority must be rooted in lawful appointment.Alina Habba Blocked From Handling Cases in Rebuke to Trump (3)This week's closing theme is by Claude Debussy.This week's closing theme comes from Debussy, born on August 22, 1862—an apt choice as we mark the anniversary of his birth. Debussy was a revolutionary figure in Western music, often associated with Impressionism, though he rejected the label. He sought to break from the rigid structures of the Germanic tradition, instead favoring color, atmosphere, and suggestion over clear-cut form and resolution. His music evokes shifting light, fluid motion, and emotional ambiguity—more akin to poetry or painting than to classical architecture.One of his early works, Rêverie, composed in the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the world he would come to define. The title means “daydream,” and the piece unfolds with a gentle, unhurried lyricism that floats outside of time. Though simple in construction, it is harmonically rich and emotionally resonant—hinting at the innovations to come in Clair de Lune, Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, and Pelléas et Mélisande.Rêverie was one of Debussy's first pieces to gain public attention, though he later dismissed it as “a piece for salon use.” Listeners have disagreed ever since. Its introspective tone and delicate touch make it a lasting favorite among pianists and audiences alike. It feels like a whisper—never urgent, never insistent, always inviting. In that sense, it's a fitting farewell for the week: contemplative, unresolved, and open to interpretation.Without further ado, Claude Debussy's Rêverie enjoy! This is a public episode.

I found a few powerful words that were spoken in this post from Mindset Machine (@Mindset_Machine) where they shared this “Four words that will completely change your life… ‘I do it anyways.'”  It's that mindset that gets us to think about whatever happens to us, whatever we have to go through, what others may say to us - that attitude of not quitting… that's a huge difference maker. In today's world with so many distractions, having this mindset to not only remember, but also to lean on - it's priceless.

This is coming from a post that I saw by Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) and it all centers around Character. The fact that he is sharing some thoughts about the importance of character. If there is ever a time where the world needs to re-focus on character - it's now! We all need to look in the mirror and help ourselves out with living with & improving our character. The so-called “leaders” of our world - certainly need to do the same, probably more so because they do call themselves “leaders”. They need to lead… help to make things better for all of us… it's time!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

In this episode, Christina Lecuyer gets real with a personal update on her life and business. From her love of summer to the exciting evolution of her brand, Christina shares what it's been like to shift from coach to consultant and everything in between. She opens up about the highs, the lows, and the lessons she's learned while navigating big changes this past year. Most importantly, she reminds us why surrounding yourself with the right people can make all the difference when life feels heavy.

A fabulous reminder popped up that I needed to “digest” and “chew” on for a bit, then I knew I needed to share it too. This came from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) where she shares this “hugely important” reminder:  “Your diet is not only what you eat. It's what you watch, what you listen to, what you read, the people you hang around… be mindful of the things you put into your body emotionally, spiritually, and physically.” ~ (@tinybuddha)  For me it's a playbook for each and every day in our lives - I need to be more mindful of my diet!! This is a playbook for me to study, follow and implement into my “game” of life.  When I look at it like this - it encompasses everything that is going on in my life throughout my day, and I get to keep working on making the best choices that I can for following what I want “my recipe” to be.  Hope this helps you too with your “diet”.  This is a diet we can all get behind.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I used to love as a kid, getting to go to a Detroit Tigers double-header game at ol' Tiger Stadium. I have a “double header” today as this lesson is coming from Inspiration Wiz (@Inspirationwiz) again, and I found it to be a direct connection to the previous episode. It's all about “How to Detach.”  There are five points to this one and I'm seeing that I can use it to help me with my distractions problems.  Here are the five points: “1) Let people be who they want to be, then decide if you want them in your life.  2) Trust that rejection is always redirection to something bigger and better.  3) Some people are only meant to help you grow, not be in your life forever.  4) What if everything is falling apart to come together in a way you can't guess? and 5) Focus only on what you can control.” Each one of these could be a separate podcast episode for sure and some of these topics have been on my radar lately to do an episode on. Again, all that means is that these lessons are popping up in my life (on my radar) because I need to be reminded about them and learn from them in order for me to get better. I hope this helps you too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I found a very powerful reminder that got shared from Inspiration Wiz (@Inspirationwiz) where they help to get us to realize that “Your real competition isn't other people. It's - Your ego, your procrastination, your lack of discipline, your distractions, your bad habits, your self-doubt, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the unhealthy food you consume. Now go & declare war on your real competition.” Of course I am replacing “my” where it says “your” or “you”, because this was directed at me for sure, probably not “you”. As I read each one of these again - examples of “me” are flying through my mind on each of them. Probably the biggest one for me lately - DISTRACTIONS! Wow!!

In this inspiring episode of How to Get Ahead with Millennial Life Coaches, host Lorna (@lorna_tayl0r) sits down with Jemaine Finlay—speaker, educator, and health practitioner—to explore the power of personal responsibility in creating lasting transformation.Jemaine shares her journey through burnout, perfectionism, and self-sabotage, revealing how self-awareness, empowerment, and taking ownership of your choices can help you reclaim your health, happiness, and fulfillment.

I found a “combo” meal today for us to “digest” and take to heart a little bit.  The first one is from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) who reminds us to “Surround yourself with people that push you to be better. No drama, jealousy, or mess. Just higher goals, good vibes and positive energy.”  One key that hit me here is that I reminded myself that I also need to be this for myself and for others. It seems we have so many to choose from that are the complete opposite of encouragers. The world needs more of them for sure. The “second course” came from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) where this great advice was shared: “Be someone's cheerleader!  At one time or another, we can all use extra encouragement!” We all can be that for ourselves and others. The world needs this too more than ever. Just take a few seconds to see how much encouragement is needed in and around where you are in life.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I came across a post this morning from a good friend and former co-worker, Connie - that got me reflecting in some deep and attention getting ways for myself. First of all, at the time of this recording & sharing this story - I got a bit emotional thinking about people, especially how I miss my former co-workers at this time of year (school starting soon).  This is a bit longer of a podcast episode, as I am sharing this story about “Dorothy” and quietly sitting and the difference that this can make with others in a world that I'm finding trouble digesting what's happening. Amazing and powerful (at least to me) that got not only my emotions moving, but also things that I need to start & stop doing in my life.  It gets me thinking for sure on how I can simply be better at some things & I hope it gets you thinking (and doing) some things too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I came across another great post….  I love the fact that I'm seeking things to help me throughout the day and Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) always has things to get me doing some deep reflections. This is speaking directly to you as well.  “You are the greatest project you'll ever work on. Restart. Reset. Refocus. As many times as you need.” As I was sharing some thoughts from this, I also connected with Reframe too.  I do need to realize that I need to focus on getting better, every single day. My thoughts and actions need to be pointed towards that instead of worry, anger, frustration, doubt, the pain I'm in, etc. This is (to me) an enlightening and encouraging thought to connect with many times throughout a day. I hope it helps you too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

In this episode, Christina shares insights from two powerful client conversations about making bold business decisions and investing in your future self. This episode covers pricing strategies, family business considerations, and the courage required to build foundations for growth that doesn't exist yet. 

Sharing some thoughts about having coffee today with a long ago student of mine, and the inspiration I came away with from our talks. I also connected with our talk and a post from Kevin DeShazo ( @kevindeshazo ) and his thoughts he shared - “Attitude is a decision.  Effort is a decision. Own the way you show up.”  This reminds me in a very eye-opening way, that I need to step up and “own” what I do in life along with the things I want to do, need to do and get to do!

I found a post that had 4 statements of Japanese wisdom and it comes from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where these powerful reminders are shared for ALL OF US to connect with (including me for sure!)  1. If it's not yours, don't take it.  2. If it's not right, don't do it.  3. If it's not true, don't say it.  4. If you don't know it, shut up!  Now I recognize that so much of the world, especially in the USA, seems to be going against these reminders. Our “leaders” seem to go out of their way to divide all of us, compared to trying to bring us together. My point with all of this is for us to not only shed the light on things like this for ourselves, but in doing so, our light will shine onto others. We can't let these truths be erased because there was nobody keeping the light turned on. Lot's to think about for sure.

I found myself needing an uplift this morning both with gratitude and an attitude adjustment. I shared some thoughts in a Facebook live video that I'm sharing here on the podcast. Lot's going on, and much of it doesn't help me to feel much better so I figured that I needed to take a bit more control.

Watching and Listening to some powerful videos in the Mental Toughness Forum (#MTF2025) with Ben Newman (@ContinuedFight) and one of the speakers, Drew Hanlen (@DrewHanlen) who shared these “5 What's” we need to ask ourselves. This point he shared got me thinking about sharing these with you - "You can't keep doing the same things expecting different results. A lot of times, it's us that's holding us back."  I shared this post with me admitting that I am SOOOOO guilty of this and the last “what” is - “What am I going to do about it??”  This is a powerful episode to digest and then have some good conversations with yourself and I'm trying to do too.  Share this one (heck, share any of my episodes with others that you think might get something from them) and then reach out and let me know your thoughts about the things I shared in this episode and how they helped you.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I found a fabulous and easy to see connection to life.  All coming from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where this was shared: “Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of your life.”  So easy to see a river rushing by and realizing how accurate this is. I've been trying to focus on more moments of life so I can at least say I touched the water as it went by. So many times in our days, throughout our lives where we need to connect with those moments.

Listening to Ben Newman's “Mental Toughness Forum, 2025” (https://mentaltoughnessforum.com/) and one of the many speakers he has lined up to help others is Jen Gottlieb (Instagram & Twitter / X: jen_gottlieb), (Facebook: jenleahgottlieb),   and she “is the bold voice behind some of today's most visible and profitable personal brands.” One of the many things from her video is something that she wants to never forget and she wants us to remember this too. It's so important to her that she had it tattooed on her right wrist, so only she could really see it, but it simply says - “Time never stops.”  We only get today one time - what are we going to do with it? Each moment we have, goes away! How did we “spend” that moment? With a couple of other things that happened this morning (and last night too), I found myself drawn to this thought and it got me going today to see if I can “spend” my day doing more things that I know I need to do, want to do, get to do and of course, have to do. How are you going to spend your moments today?  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

In this episode of Decide It's Your Turn, Christina dives into a powerful message inspired by PGA golfer Scottie Scheffler's recent speech. She explores what it truly means to chase greatness—not through outcomes or achievements, but by honoring the journey and your God-given purpose.Christina unpacks the tension between striving for success and finding fulfillment right where you are. She shares how redefining what “winning” means can lead to more peace, purpose, and lasting joy.Whether you're a high-achieving leader or simply searching for deeper meaning in your everyday life, this episode will challenge you to shift your mindset, embrace your talents, and trust that the process is the prize.

I recently found a post from a leader & educator that really connected with me. Danny Steele (@SteeleThoughts) shared this thought that is so easily seen in today's society -  “It's easier to throw stones than it is to make tough decisions.  And sometimes… being a leader involves coming to terms with the fact that any decision you make, will be the “wrong” one to a whole lot of people.”  The 3 C's (Criticizing, Condemning, and Complaining) are all around us. So many of our so called “leaders” take great pride in tearing people down and blaming them, instead of that so-called “leader” looking in the mirror and acknowledging their own mistakes, lack of character, etc.  That's why I've been trying to keep working on myself more now than ever before. If everyone can do more of that - self improvement & personal development, recognize that we are not perfect and that mistakes are part of life. However, we stand up and own them and not blame others for those mis-cues. Remember, those tough decisions where we look at ourselves more than pointing fingers at others - it's a key to a successful life for us and others for sure!   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I came across something that simply reminded me that it's up to me!  From Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”  No matter what I have thrown at me, the environment around me (which has been incredible, thanks to my parents, grandparents, etc.), my choices do indeed matter. It's up to me as to where I go with my life. No matter what others say or do, I'm in charge and sometimes I forget that.  So I love this reminder. I hope you do too, since this is true for you and anyone else who is alive as well.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I stumbled across another take on the importance of Gratitude and it came to me from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) - “Gratitude: Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” Not only is this something to spend some time connecting with, but I also shared that @JOLearyInspires shared a powerful thought.  He mentioned that when we acknowledge the good,we MUST acknowledge the bad that is around too. There is so much good that comes from when things go bad for us and if things didn't go bad at first, the good from it would not have happened. We've all had bad things happen to us for one reason or another & I never really thought about this connection to the good things that come from those things. Amazing connection!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

“Personal Responsibility” is a Dharma talk and brief guided meditation about reclaiming your power, not through blame or perfectionism, but through wise, compassionate participation in your own life. It explores how the Buddha framed responsibility as a path to freedom. When we stop waiting for others to change, we can begin asking “What's  the most skillful thing I can do?” This talk also looks at the relational side of responsibility, how the way we carry our pain can either ricochet harm or create space for healing. Enjoy!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

When is it right to stick to your role—and when do you need to step up and act, even outside your formal job description? Mike and Jim tackle the age-old advice to “stay in your lane” by examining what it truly means in high-stakes environments. From a cop showing up to a burning house to Marines turning wrenches one moment and picking up rifles the next, we break down how flexibility, judgment, and initiative can make the difference between failure and mission success. Drawing on real-world examples like the 2012 Taliban attack on Camp Bastion—where Marine pilots and maintainers dropped tools and returned fire—we ask: Is it always someone else's job, or do high-performing teams blur the lines when the stakes are high? This episode is about knowing your capabilities, understanding your limits, and recognizing when stepping outside your lane is not only appropriate—but necessary.

The one and only Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) comes up with another assist as he shares a wonderful & powerful post that made a tremendous connection with me as soon as I read it. It said: “Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength - carrying two days at once.  It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” - Corrie ten Boom.  Talk about being right on target and yes, again, something I need to continue to work on - stop worrying so much. It does indeed rob us of today!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Found a great list of 8 items that I think would add tremendous value to anyone who takes them to heart. This came from Book Therapy (@Book_therapy223) and it's all about doing a “Life Audit”. What a great list to take a reflective look at, I know I need to for sure. This list is all about health, fitness, personal development, career, relationships, self-care, home, life and free time. A powerful map for life.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

While at the gym yesterday, lifting “little weights”, I found myself listening to Ben Newman's podcast, listen to it HERE. I found myself having to record this thought in my notes to share on a podcast. Simply stated: “Be the best you can be, one day at a time!” In the little moments we have every day, we can look to win them a bit more than normal. Following through on a promise we make to ourselves or someone else. Replace a bad habit with a good one. Pile up little victories, small wins… nobody else has to know about them.

Found an awesome & funny thought here that is right on target in our lives today. It came from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) and they reminded us that: “Life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself.” - Sushant Singh.  What a true statement for each and everyone of us. If we don't like “our channel”, change it. If we don't like the “input”, change it. There are times to change our “volume” in life. If you're close to my age.. You will remember something like this (what I posted with this):  “Great thought here…. Plus, I had to laugh since I remember as a kid, “being the remote” for my parents when they wanted to change the channel and not having to get up to do it themselves.”  Be active in taking care of being your own “remote” for your life!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

It's time to get into something real…because if we want better for ourselves, our relationships, and the world we live in—it starts with accountability. In this episode of Operation Be, I'm diving deep into the importance of owning your sh*t. From billionaires and celebrities to everyday team dynamics, we're seeing a serious lack of responsibility everywhere—and it's toxic. I'm sharing some personal stories from my own leadership journey and unpacking how entitlement and lack of self-awareness can rot a culture from the inside out. We'll talk about spotting the “leaks” in your own life, what it actually means to take responsibility, and why creating a culture of accountability is non-negotiable if you want real, lasting success. This isn't about blame—it's about empowerment. Because the moment you start holding yourself accountable is the moment everything starts to shift.

Have you ever felt confused or overwhelmed trying to make sense of the Bible, as if you walked into a movie halfway through and missed the bigger picture? In this episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders shares the eye-opening story of his personal journey to understand the Bible as a cohesive narrative, not just a collection of isolated verses. Discover why the chapters aren't in chronological order, the pitfalls of pulling scripture out of context, and how seeing the Bible as a story can shift your entire perspective. If you're ready to rethink how you read the Bible and want practical insight into making it all make sense, this episode is for you."Taking personal responsibility for getting to know and understand the Bible yourself is crucial—don't just take someone else's word for it." - Tim Winders Access all show and episode resources HEREReasons to Listen: Discover the Story Behind the Bible - Learn why reading the Bible as a story—with a beginning, middle, and end—can totally change your understanding, especially since most of us have been taught to read it out of order.Challenge Your Preconceptions - Hear why unlearning old beliefs, questioning popular interpretations, and digging into the context for yourself might lead to “aha” moments you never expected.Unlock Hidden Context & Clarity - Find out how reading the Bible chronologically and understanding the original audience and timelines can help clear up confusion and contradictions that many struggle with.Key Lessons:The Bible Is a Story, Not Just a Collection of Quotes or Rules - Many people approach the Bible as a manual or a series of isolated verses, but understanding it as a continuous, interconnected story with a beginning, middle, and end gives everything deeper meaning and context.Context and Chronological Order Matter - The books and chapters of the Bible aren't arranged in the order the events actually happened, which can cause confusion. Reading the Bible chronologically—especially the Old Testament—helps the bigger story fall into place and prevents misinterpretation.Personal Responsibility in Understanding - It's easy to rely on pastors, preachers, or tradition to explain scripture, but it's our responsibility to study and wrestle with the Bible ourselves. Taking the time for personal study and reflection, even alone, is crucial for genuine understanding.Misusing Scripture Leads to Confusion and Contradiction - Pulling verses out of context or order can cause us to twist their meaning and fuel confusion or even division. When we read the Bible as a narrative and understand its historical and cultural backdrop, seeming contradictions usually disappear.The Central Theme: God's Kingdom and Restoration - Rather than focusing solely on “getting to heaven,” the overarching theme of the Bible is about God establishing, losing, and restoring His kingdom—bringing humanity back into relationship with Him.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction: Understanding the Bible as a Story00:33 Personal Journey: Unlearning and Relearning02:28 The Matrix Analogy: Seeing Beyond the Surface03:44 The Bible as a Chronological Story06:02 The Importance of Personal Study08:43 Challenges of Reading the Bible Out of Order21:41 The Kingdom of God: Central Theme of the Bible29:27 Conclusion: Embracing the StoryResources for Leaders from Tim Winders & SGC:

Saw this powerful post directed mainly at teachers, but it is total truth for everyone!!  From Chris Quinn (@ChrisQuinn64) - “Great leaders never forget what it's like to be a teacher or a student.” This is one thing that I tried to get my students to understand every year I was a teacher. Life is all about always being a student, no matter if you are in school, working in a school or not.  People that realize that life is a teacher along with other people, we have things we can learn and get better at, every single day of our lives. It's amazing how many people don't get this.  Don't miss out on bringing this mindset into your life.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I found a great post that reminded me the importance of being a consistent person, every day!  This one comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it's titled “Consistency Wins:  Because it's not what you do once in a while that matters.  It's what you do every day.”  I have been trying to work on this mindset for a long time and still haven't figured it all out. But, I'm open to keep trying for sure. I think all of us could do well by trying to be more consistent in the good things we know we need to do, on an every day basis.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Alec shares reflections on leadership, internal coherence, and how to build real-world community in an era of isolation and digital noise.We also dive into the importance of purpose, the difference between being awake and being weaponized, and why the future belongs to those willing to do the inner work. If you've ever felt pulled between truth and comfort, or wondered how to build something meaningful from the ground up, this one's for you.Time Stamps (00:00) Introduction and Guest Bio(02:53) Gratitude and Family Life(04:05) Navigating Chaos and Family Adjustments(06:33) Purpose and The Way Forward(08:14) Vision for The Way Forward(11:00) Community Building and Local Connections(32:19) Outsourcing Power and Collective Thought(41:32) Introduction to Mass Psychogenic Illness(42:12) The New Zealand Antidepressant Case Study(43:40) The Power of Collective Belief(44:39) Outsourcing Personal Power(45:11) The Role of Foundational Beliefs(46:31) The Impact of Political Figures(55:03) The Importance of Local Communities(57:55) The Free State Project Example(01:01:52) The Importance of Liberty and Vigilance(01:08:21) Personal Responsibility and Focus(01:14:13) The Power of Foundational Beliefs(01:15:07) Blindfold Vision Challenge(01:16:19) Impact of Conditioned Beliefs(01:17:31) The Role of Community(01:18:00) Schooling and Conditioned Beliefs(01:18:30) Witnessing Blindfold Vision(01:21:21) Parenting Reflections(01:23:17) Personal Growth and Relationships(01:29:46) The Importance of Community and Family(01:38:34) Concluding Thoughts and Future PlansGuest Linkshttps://thewayfwrd.com/https://www.instagram.com/d_alec_zeck/Connect with UsSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
